Consider the following examples which are part of the PIVOT 4A
to the total has the same meaning as a fraction. Look at the example below.
If
12
Fraction Form -
6
Ratio of circles to triangles
Word Form -12 is to 6
Colon Form -12: 6
Ratio of triangles to circles
Word Form
6 is to 12
Colon Form --12:6
6
Fraction Form -
12
You compare the part to the total number of the shapes, the ratio of the part
Ratio of total shapes to triangles
Word Form
Colon Form --18:6
18
-
18 is to 6
Fraction Form
6
6
Ratio of triangles to total shapes
Word Form
6 is to 18
Colon Form - 6: 18
Fraction Form
18
Even if the ratio is in fraction form, you will still say "eighteen is to six"
like six is to eighteen.” Ratio should also be in simplest form or lowest form
like a fraction. You can express the above example as;
1
18
6
to x3
76x1
3
1
2
6
18
6x2 = 1 / 3
1683

So the simplest form is
and
1.
